Morag Paterson scored three times to lead the L.V. Rogers Bombers to a convincing 5-0 victory over Kalamalka Lakers of Vernon in the consolation round of the Owls High School Girl’s Soccer Tournament Saturday in the Kelowna.
The win puts the wheels back on the rails for the Bombers this season after the defending Kootenay Zone champs opened the roundball campaign with a winless showing the week before at the Chilliwack tourney. LVR finished seventh in the 16-team KSS tournament.
The result was never in doubt against the Lakers as LVR dominated the game from beginning to end. Bryn Forsey, scoring her first varsity goal, and Paige Mansveld also scored for LVR.
Paterson’s marksmanship earn the striker player-of-the-game honours.
Oliva Marshman registered the shutout in goal for the Bombers.
LVR, finishing second in the round robin pool with a record of 1-0-2, lost 4-1 to South Okanagan U15 squad. South Okanagan owned the Bombers in this contest, building a 4-0 lead.
Bomber Andrea Stinson broke the shutout with a penalty kick marker in a contest that the top LVR player was defender Brittany Wheeler.
LVR opened the tourney by drawing 2-2 against Williams Lake.
Game MVP Taylor Stewart and Stinson scored for LVR.
The Bombers then played one of its best games of the season in a scoreless tie against host KSS Owls.
In the final game of Friday’s preliminary round LVR blasted Mt. Boucherie Bears 5-1. Sarah Fuhr, Paterson with a pair and Erikka Augster scored for LVR.
The final marker was an own goal. Top player for LVR was Keraya Spencer.
After the flurry of tournaments to start the season, LVR is idle until the squad returns to the pitch for league action.
